Two men were hunting in full camouflage near the intersection of U.S. 278 and Roy Webb Road early Saturday when one took aim at a turkey and peppered his partner’s face with a shotgun blast instead.
The shooter took the victim to Gadsden Regional Medical Center where the injured man was treated for injuries described as “non-life-threatening,” said Matthew Wade, chief deputy for the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim suffered injuries to his right arm, the left side of his neck and right eye, a sheriff’s deputy’s report states.
The report states that the victim and the shooter “are long time hunting buddies and have turkey hunted together on numerous occasions.”
